- Steven Spielberg's Alien, in which Ripley's divorced husband (played by Tom Hanks) turns up on the Nostromo, saves the day by killing the alien, John Hurt and pretty much everyone else, delivers a stern lecture to Ripley about cold-hearted career women neglecting their families and feminine duties, and then bonds with their daughter despite the fact that he's several hundred light-years away from her and that she will consequently be dead from old age before the ship gets anywhere interesting.
- Steven Spielberg's The Midwich Cuckoos, reformatted as a tug-of-love tale in which Zellaby (played by Tom Cruise) appeals for parental rights against some mysterious extraterrestrial entity, and wins because he's that much more adorable and appealling. Also stars Dakota Fanning as every single one of the Midwich Children.
